I think the idea was that Clean doesn't support a syntax like "map (**2)" for a function that will take a list and square its elements. The call to map there is not fully saturated, since it's waiting for another argument. (As a disclaimer, I've not used Clean, so I could be speaking nonsense; it's just how I read the original statement.) _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
